kenyu73 10 Report post Posted May 9, 2012 I'm putting my rearend back up and I'm not sure which "hole" in the axle mount is used for the leaf guide. I'm thinking the center hole?? 351/auto [ATTACH]11279[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenyu73 10 Report post Posted May 9, 2012 yes, center holes "center" the rear, the two outer ones are for the u bolts... The ubolts dont connect here, those connect to a bracket under the axle. The axle mount sits flat on top of the leaf. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The axle mount sits flat on top of the leaf. yes, sorry about that. had another vehicle in mind ( my truck is set up like that)... it "might" be an added hole on the front side to center the rear in the fenderwell better. mine needs the same treatment: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted May 10, 2012 center hole. did you finish your engine build/thread? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenyu73 10 Report post Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the confirmations on the center hole! it "might" be an added hole on the front side to center the rear in the fenderwell better. mine needs the same treatment: Using the top hole would push your wheel even more forward. Unless you used that hole, then using the center would fix ya up... center hole. did you finish your engine build/thread? Never did an engine build thread. Engine is still in the car untouched.

My tires sit about 1" closer to the front of the wheel housing as well. I think your 30" wheels just make it that much closer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SELLERSRODSHOP 13 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) yeah, i think the norm is a little forward, although as many of these as i have fooled with over the years i've seen them all over the place. this one has never been wrecked & nothing has ever been apart so is a good guage as to how they left the factory. wheels are off my 36 ford p/u. :) Edited May 11, 2012 by SELLERSRODSHOP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
